101 Dallas Road, LONDON, NW4 3JD

conversion of dwelling house to two flats

Authority: London Borough of Barnet
Appeal type: minor · Planning Appeal
Procedure: Written Representations
Development: residential · Minor Dwellings
Inspector: Han U

Main issues, as the Inspector framed them

whether the appeal site is suitable for the proposed development having particular regard to the development plan
whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for the future occupiers of Flat 1 with regard to internal floorspace
whether the proposed development would provide acceptable living conditions for the future occupiers of Flat 2 with regard to internal floor to ceiling height
the effect of the proposed development on the character and appearance of the appeal building and the surrounding area

What decided it

The proposal fails to comply with Policy HOU03 criteria regarding site suitability (PTAL, floor area, and loss of family-sized dwelling), lacks adequate ceiling heights for Flat 2, and would harm the character and appearance through an oversized and incongruous roof extension.

Plan policies cited: Policy HOU03, Policy CDH01, Policy CDH02, Policy CDH04, Policy CDH07, Policy GSS01, Policy D6

What an account adds

Draw a red line around your site and the appraisal follows.

Heritage. Listed buildings by grade and distance, conservation areas, scheduled monuments, registered parks and gardens, heritage at risk.
Landscape and environment. Green belt, national parks and national landscapes, SSSIs, ancient woodland, SPA, SAC and Ramsar sites, nutrient catchments.
Flooding. Flood zones 2 and 3, surface water, and both again with climate change.
Transport. The 800 metre station catchment and service frequency, bus stops with their weekday frequency, the cycle network, and the Framework’s transport tests measured for the site.

Then the development plan position, the housing land supply as an Inspector last accepted it, and every appeal decided around the site with its letter.

Every English appeal since 2016, with the letter behind it wherever the Inspectorate published one. Searched by meaning as well as by words, with the key case law counted live across the letters.

Casework that chases the deadlines. Applications, appeals and conditions with their statutory dates.

The judgement stays yours. The tool gathers the material and dates it.
